Ride The Lightning

I'm learning to play this song right now, its pretty damn fun! I've been messing with it for half an hour and I can play the rythym parts along with the CD.

By far one of my favourite Metallica tunes. Heavy and a bit haunting, it works well.

I envy you, I just never had the patience to learn an instrument, that is partly why I am a vocalist. Ride The Lightning is a great piece and is the way a Metallica song should sound (hell the entire album is).

Great song!

Love the solo, probably Kirk Hammetts best lead!

Robert (Ultimatum guitarist) has been wanting to record a cover of "Creeping Death" for a long time. You never know, we may just do that.

I can play the rythme guitar. That song is a great one. I wanted to play the entire Intro (The rythme guitare and the lead at the same time and I found a way to do it.)

Tell me how and I will love you forever.

I think you will. What do you think of Dark Angel's cover?

Fight Fire With Fire is better

Our drummer & myself have been playing around with Protools & recorded Whiplash a few weeks ago just to get used to working with it. He played the drums & lead guitar & I layed down a 4 string track & a distorted 12 string bass track instead of rhythm guitar, it sounds pretty cool, if we ever get finished with the vocals.

you don't consider Ride The Lightening a thrash album?

Yeah, that kind of puzzles me a little bit too.
